Mackenzie Valley Winter Road: Wrigley – Délı̨nę Junction closes for season

GNWT’s Department of Infrastructure has closed the Mackenzie Valley Winter Road: Wrigley – Délı̨nę Junction.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Edzo-Rae Ice Road saw a planned seasonal closure. The planned closure was announced earlier this week and is part of seasonal changes that will also see the Dettah Ice Road close later this month.

The Tłı̨chǫ Public Works department advised the public to avoid travel on this route during the closure as seasonal conditions change. 

On Wednesday, a representative from the GNWT’s Infrastructure department reported that Wrigley to Tulita (the Mackenzie Valley Winter Road) was temporarily closed due to a vehicle blocking traffic and the road reopened around 1 pm that afternoon was restricted to night travel only (10 pm – 10 am).
